I cant see why I would want this in a DAW for 99E, but it looks aimed as a phone/ipad app,
I think it will be cool on an ipad (reminds me of Drum Computer which is very good app with AUM). I had a quick look, not on Apple Store yet...

Absolutely inflated given that sugar bytes systematically abandons each plugin after release and moves on to the next without delivering vital updates or necessary improvements for the older ones. No, thanks.zvenx wrote: Thu Apr 17, 2025 2:36 pm I didn't know this exist till less than 3 minutes ago when I saw this thread.

There are a few Sugar Bytes plugins that I really like a lot, but unfortunately you're right.enCiphered wrote: Thu Apr 17, 2025 2:45 pm Absolutely inflated given that sugar bytes systematically abandons each plugin after release and moves on to the next without delivering vital updates or necessary improvements for the older ones.

it´s sort of a -unfortunate- waste.....for both partys, IMHO. until it´s solely about money making.
i prefer to pay for some updates, rather than ever and ever again to switch the tools on the hunt for some "more refined, more perfect" ones.
"Plugin has turned Drug now"....and the business knows it.

The Mac demo is just fine on macOS Sequoia 15.4
Might need to upgrade your OS

Their tendency to versionize critical updates is definitely grating.
I bought Effectrix 2 and there's definitely an argument to be made that it should have been just an update to the original since it addresses critical issues but pretty barebones in additions.
Drum Computer is "nearly" one of the best drum machines out there but there's a few fatal flaws that prevent it from being that. (shitty kick drums mainly)
Having said that one of the things that sets sugarbytes apart (apart from the versionising) is that they are very forward looking. They don't get stuck in iterating and forge ahead with something new.
Dialekt very much continues that tradition. It's a very novel take on sequencing and once you get your head around it it's extremely powerful and very addictive.
The demos and presets for some reason don't really do it justice. It's far more expansive/expressive than what they suggest.
For example, a lot of the demos use the same snare sound (Which is the ring modulated snare). A perfectly fine snare for certain genres but can sound a bit flabby in others. But in the Dialekt there's a whole bunch of snare engines that sound very different but they seem to be underutilised.
The demos have a kind of weird unprocessed/raw character (almost chip tune like) but it's capable of a lot more refined sounds.
The meat of Dialekt is how ideas are assembled either by copying parts or via randomisation. Like a lot of Sugarbytes plugins there's some really compelling ingenuity. It kind of reminds me of the Ableton Move's workflow in how you zone in on a phrase within a bigger sequence.
It's a very deep plugin with a lot of potential. Like a less obscure/esoteric version of Nest.
